Donna Brazile: Soldiers Aledging Bergdahl are a PR Campaign by Republicans
National Review Online ^ | 6/8/14 | Patrick Brennan

Posted on 06/09/2014 4:49:22 PM PDT by originalbuckeye

Democratic strategist and former Gore-campaign manager Donna Brazile said this morning that veterans accusing recently returned Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl of desertion are part of a “PR campaign by Republicans.”

After fellow panelist Ana Navarro noted that members of Bergdahl’s unit had consistently expressed concerns about the circumstances of his capture, Brazile said it was an effort to “muddy the waters” surrounding the prisoner deal.

Quickly criticized for the comment by her fellow panelists on CNN, she said that she’d never impugn the testimony of a veteran, but stood by her comments.

“That’s all they do . . . all they do is focus their vitriol, their rage, against this president,” Brazile said. “If the president this morning had scrambled eggs and bacon, they’d say that’s an unhealthy breakfast. If the president had cereal and fruit, they’d say that’s an unhealthy breakfast.”

In the early days after Bergdahl was released, a former Bush administration official, Richard Grenell, reportedly was involved to some extent in helping soldiers who’d served with the sergeant connect with the media

I've had the chance to speak personally with one of them.

He's a fine young man, the kind of man that keeps the Army functioning despite the best efforts of the left to cripple it.

I spit on Donna Brazile.

I saw the name "Donna Brazile" which made me immediately REALIZE I am not in the mood for another "SCREWLOOSE" explanation of their manipulation of the TRUTH.

LIBERAL DEMOCRATS = MENTAL MIDGETS

Isn't Brazile the classy woman that wished SCJ Thomas a death due to clogged arteries?

Republicans couldn’t round up steer in a trailer and most of what they try looks like them rounding up katz.

They sure didn’t co-ordinate 6 guys who, to a man, say the same thing...

All those government reports and news accounts from 2010 were also somehow planted by Republicans?

The person who actually helped coordinate getting these soldiers in front of cameras was Brad Chase, a communications strategist at Capitol Media, and definitely NOT a Republican.

Shut up Donna. You are worthless and never learned one day of this campaign. You may be a journolista but your ability to speak of soldiers is gone.

Nice catalog of ridiculous (but true according to the Media) assertions to justify the trade of 5 of the most evil men on earth for (at the very least) a deserter!

I saw that diatribe by that “Crisco in the can”.The chair she sat in needed sideboards. Her rear end needs a “Wide Load” sign.
She made as much sense as a six ounce rock rattling in a five gallon bucket.
Now I’ll go back to my saucer of milk. ;^}

The Soldiers in Bergdahl’s unit went out into hostile territory to try and rescue him. They didn’t stop and show their political party cards before they went out. They just went out facing the chance that they could be killed.
The American Press has set a new low for themselves with their stories about Bergdahl’s fellow Soldiers. Let me give you the only thing that matters about the Soldiers in Bergdahl’s unit.

They went out into hostile territory to try and get him back.

I don’t give a s**t if their brass was polished. I don’t give a s**t if they didn’t have Patton as their leader. I do give a s**t about whether they had the courage and commitment to go out into hostile territory and risk their life to try to get back one of their own. They had that by the truckload.
Shame on those press people questioning these Soldiers.

Donna, you self-indulgent slut:

Any words uttered by the major news organizations and other thinly veiled members of the incestuous Hack-o-rama, are a PR Campaign by RATs!
